I'm Ariyanah, Guild Master of <Obscure>. Thank you for taking
time to read our recruitment post! I'll begin with the TL:DR
version. There will be further details about the guild below.

What's our current progress?
5/10 Mythic Foundry
6/7 Mythic Highmaul

What are we recruiting?
Currently recruiting the following:
1x Healer
Paladin/Monk/Shaman/Holy Priest

1x Ranged DPS
Class is unimportant. Ability to play well is what we value
most.

So, who are we?
Obscure is a long-established (over 5 years old) 20-man guild on
the Alliance side of The Sha'tar.

When do we raid?
We raid on Wednesdays, Sundays and Mondays from 1945 – 2300. While
we occasionally do a “clean up” raid on Tuesdays or extend our raid
for “1 last pull” if we're closing in on a new progression boss we
do not raid extra Mythic progression days, ever.

What are our goals?
Our goal for MoP was to compete with the best 3x3 25-man raiding
guilds in the world. We did that fairly successfully and ended MoP
with a West 25-man rank of 243. We plan to carry on this trend.

I dont RP - not sure I want to join a RP server. What do you
think?
I personally consider RP realms to be very similar to Normal realms
but with an overall higher maturity level. I don't personally RP
and I'm not currently aware of anyone in the guild who does -
however, we respect the people who choose to RP on the Realm and
the Realm Policies.

What do we expect from our applicants/trialists and, by extension,
our raiders?
We expect you to come to raids fully prepared. This means knowing
both your class and the fight inside out. Raiding only 9 hours a
week means we just don't have time to brute-force an encounter – we
focus on preparation, team-work and skill. This also means that you
are expected to attend the vast majority of our raid days.

What we look for in potential new raiders?
# Mythic(Heroic) raiding experience in current and/or prior
tiers.
# Gemming, glyphing, enchanting and speccing that indicates
thorough knowledge of your class.
# A desire to constantly improve and be the best. We're not
interested in people who are happy to settle for second place.
# Very high situational/spatial awareness.
# Full raid preparation
# Good raid discipline
# Warcraft Logs.

Whilst the above isn't a -must have- list to gain a trial with us,
it's a decent check-list. However, we've been known to take in
undergeared/underexperienced players whom have simply blown us away
with their class knowledge and ability. Have confidence! Impress
us!

What can our trialists expect from us?
A mature guild environment, which fundamentally means polite and
drama-free. It doesn't mean we never swear, it doesn't mean we
don't dissolve into fits of laughter at immature jokes like a bunch
of thirteen year olds on occasion. However, it does mean things
like homophobic or racist comments are certainly not welcome. We
treat each other, and everyone else on the server, with
respect.

From a raiding perspective, “mature” means a stable raiding
schedule. It means we don't massively over-recruit, but it also
means that if you're having a bad night and standing in fire that
you generally ask to be replaced before the raid leader does it.
"Mature" means that while we sometimes use "serious voice" you're
not going to be screamed at for making a mistake, although you are
expected to own it. We don't have a squad of 50+ raiders, we don't
recruit -for- the bench. However, if you're looking for a guild
where you're never benched for any reason – this isn't it.

Furthermore we have an active and social guild environment. We're
looking for mature, intelligent people who are good social fits;
it's okay if you're shy, it's not okay if you're causing drama.

It all sounds great!! How do I apply?!
